Effective Fall 2019, Franklin University will reduce its undergraduate tuition rate by 24%, lowering the cost from $526 per credit hour to $398 per credit hour.
For undergraduates, this means that their tuition rate will be 66% lower than the national average for private, non-profit universities.
This more affordable tuition rate offers students the opportunity to maximize their financial aid, allowing them to finish their degree program of choice at a pace that accommodates their lifestyle.
